All of our food was excellent! The server, Supreme! When the kitchen forgot my breakfast bowl, he swung into action, expedited it and made it worth the wait!The food is a really homey fare, elevated about 4 rungs up. You can get basic bacon and eggs or something that starts there and leaves you wanting more!

First time I ate here the food was really good but now I don’t know and the service can be better even though I still give a tip. ?

One of best day time cafes, great food and vibrant atmosphere. The service is always immaculate. Shoutout to our server Matthew he was absolutely amazing and vibrant. If you go, you have to sit in his section.

I eat here often. Parking is decent and it’s easy to find. The restaurant is always clean. The servers are always nice and prompt. The food is good enough but consistent. Everything is usually a little dry even the French toast. The prices are bad. I honestly come here for the atmosphere, coffee, and home fries. But I will definitely return.

I like First Watch (as a chain) but this location is my least favorite due the food quality. I feel like the food (especially the scrambled eggs) is never as good as other FW locations. I’ve been to locations in other areas of VA and FL (which has the BEST one in Orlando near Disney) and the food was far better. I thought it was just a fluke but this is the one closest to my house and it’s been mediocre every time I eat it for the past few years. Staff is friendly and restaurant is clean — just wish they put more effort into serving better food.

This is one of our favorite places to have a special breakfast or brunch on the weekend. Eat in or get to-go, the food is always really fresh and delicious. It can get really loud inside when the place is full, but we've never had an issue with the service. You may wait a bit to get inside during the busy prime times on the weekend- highly recommend you use the app to get a place in line!Parking: Shared lot with other nearby shops; parking can be limited during busy times!

Friendly staff, great customer service as always but the quality of my takeout order was not satisfactory. Management took the proper steps to make it right.

Enjoyed my dine in experience here as usual. Our server was friendly, professional and made great recommendations. I had the seasonal Barbacoa Chilaquiles Breakfast Bowl and Mango Passion Palmer both of which were delicious. Will be coming back.

My go-to breakfast spot! Everything is cooked perfectly as requested. sometimes they do get busy but it's pretty big that rotating people in and out isn't too bad. Servers are always pleasant & you get more food than other local breakfast spots.

Have waited a long time to visit. First time. Took 45 minutes for food to arrive. A single waffle, that tastes the same as a waffle from waffle house..should not take 45 minutes. The egg and meat dishes were fine..but cold. So this visit took 1.5 hours and cost $60 for breakfast...that was only ok.
